Surnames: Barnes Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HZB.2ACI/808.1 Message Board Post: Hi My Great Grandfather George Washington Barnes was born on July 04, 1833 in Richfield, Ohio. Richfield is now located in Summit Co. Ohio. In his Civil War Pension File he named Medina County, as his birth place. I have always heard that his father's name was Jesse Everton Barnes but as of the past 5 years I have not found any Jesse Barnes that could be connected to my George Washington Barnes. If anyone has any information that will be of any help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Anita
